What is important, though, is that several "Auburn fast" guys have gone to the combine and been "NFL fast". Rudy Ford isn't a 4.2 guy, but he's going to be one of the faster guys at the combine. We have elite speed, and a lot of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're highly unlikely to see even a single sub 4.30 at the NFL Combine this weekend; yet every year we seemingly have ~4-5 guys who "time" in the 4.2's LOL.

Well, they are accurate for the purpose of comparing one guy to the next, but yea... the lasers we use are obviously able to be calibrated to shave a tenth or so off of every time.

No way in hell Javaris Davis ran a 4.18. I think in high school he was a freaking 4.4 guy at best (lasered). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Iggy can run a sub 4.2 40 as a true freshman than shut it down. I want to see Ted Ginn numbers. I was listening to some of the 40 time results from the NFL combine. When I see all this sub-4.3 stuff, I can't help but think you can add a tenth or two to get to a more realistic/accurate time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy will do well in the NFL no doubt. I would not be surprised if he is a 1st or 2nd round pick. I would love to see a team by team breakdown of all SEC teams of how many sub 4.40 times that each team has on the rosters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Just get 'X' role player significant touches because he's fast". How many footballs are we playing with? Where are all these touches coming from? Look at the roster: you've got Pettway, Johnson, and other backs who will get "touches". Then you've got about ~4+ receivers who are easily better players than Franklin. Franklin is like a poor-man's version of Eli Stove, the fact that he may be "slightly faster" means virtually nothing as I can virtually guarantee that Stove is: a better receiver, more agile, and more physical. The way some of you talk, you'd need to run 150 plays a game just to get everyone touches. Looks like a weapon to me. So let him sit? I'm not the coach. Sorry that I killed you posting in the jf3 position change thread. I said nothing about reviever. His '16 performance was a play calling/game management disaster and I believe he has a lot to offer, aside from the hand cramps and all. Without low-balling any of his teammates, I believe he's at or near the top of the list to seperate and eat up yards. Needs a home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think he can beat out any of the other QB's, not even Willis. Maybe he can return punts and kickoffs? I mean I am not sure what position he could be moved to. I guess it depends on his hands. If he can catch then maybe receiver? If not, maybe DB with his speed? What position would be most ideal to his stature? Left out J/k...sorta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredst 9,064 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I could see Franklin returning kickoffs with his straight line speed but, honestly, have a hard time envisioning him getting PT anywhere else. And, given his frame, I'm not sure how long he'd survive returning KOs, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, anything that requires substitution is counter-productive for a HUNH team. Of course, that assumes the HUNH team is going to utilize the "hurry up" part. Exactly! In some cases, I think we could utilize the WC with the same personnel as the previous play. But if not, don't stop play to sub and let the defense catch their breath.
